Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan has been suspended indefinitely from MSNBC, according to a statement from that network’s President Phil Griffin. An Associated Press article on CBSNews.com blames reaction to Buchanan’s latest book Suicide of a Superpower for his ouster from the cable network, as well as a campaign by the advocacy group, Color of Change.

{snip}

MSNBC’s Griffin apparently believes, however, that Buchanan’s newest work has crossed a line. Suicide of a Superpower came out in October and features chapters with titles like “The End of White America” and “The Death of Christian America.”

The AP quotes Griffin as saying, “Because of the content of the book, I didn’t think it should be part of the national dialogue, much less part of the dialogue on MSNBC.”

The network executive said that there has been no decision as to whether Buchanan will be allowed at any point to re-join the network’s political team. He also refused to reveal any details about the terms of Buchanan’s contract with the network or whether it would be renewed.

UPDATE:Color of Change has issued a statement regarding MSNBC’s decision to suspend Pat Buchanan. The activist group says: “ColorOfChange.org welcomes MSNBC’s decision to indefinitely suspend Pat Buchanan. However, it’s time for MSNBC to permanently end their relationship with Pat Buchanan and the hateful, outdated ideas he represents. We appreciate this first step and urge MSNBC to take the important final step to ensure that their brand is no longer associated with Buchanan’s history of passing off white supremacy ideology as mainstream political commentary.”

Perhaps what we need are leftists who are active working on issues like hate crimes and discrimination against whites, ‘defamation’ against whites at schools and in fictional narratives, and even advocating for the very survival of whites. Shouldn’t someone be speaking up for whites? Even if you accept the mainstream, safe view, that people of color are all victims and whites are all oppressors, surely there is at least one white person victim of a hate crime or discriminated against? No whites are poor? Why, at times, it almost seems our nation is set up to discriminate against whites. Even if people of color are all good and whites all bad, is it fair or right for there to be special interest groups of all kinds advocating for people of color with none for whites? That’s not equality. I thought leftists were about equality first?
I’m not really a leftist (although I could sympathize with their viewpoint, at least in a non-racial or homogenious nation) however, I find it surprising there are few if any leftists who advocate for European Americans. It would be a great chance to make a name for oneself and even get in on the ground floor. Who says ‘poverty pimp’ is an occupation just for people of color? Of course leaders for such a group would be chosen from those who are the most accomplished or have some kind of special knowledge or experience.

One can be absolutely politically neutral and advocate for whites. It would probably be a good idea actually, for these fringe pro-white groups to work very hard to remain politcally neutral. There are plenty of whites of all incomes and political beliefs. If you’re forming the first ‘white united student’ group on campus to represent them (because universities so desperately need diversity) it would good idea to keep it clean and neutral and open to all. Wouldn’t that be something in and of itself, a white student activist group on campus? Do they demand diversity or not? Do the nations colleges really want diversity or is it really about the opposite thing ‘excluding’ whites from what every other group has?

The wonder is that MSNBC ever associated with Pat Buchanan to start with!

Because he was the iconoclastic conservative, ie, antiwar at a time when every other frothing at the mouth GOPer was thirsting for Iraqi blood.

Color of Change’s influence here is way overblown. They’re the same group who claimed Glenn Beck’s departure from Fox News was because of their efforts. That’s nonsense. Beck and Fox management were turmoiling over content long before these black morons came on the scene. Likewise, they had zero to do with Pat Buchanan and MSNBC. Like most black liars, they claim responsibility for something in order to flim flam people into believing they’re a powerful organization , instead of a rag tag band of black loudmouths.

One of their members was the one who wrote an article declaring Taylor to be a racist. I wrote her an email blasting her and giving her a few uncomplimentary black stats and she wrote me back telling me blacks were going to takeover, along with other blatant racial utterings. All this AFTER she wrote the piece about Taylor being a racist. She was too stupid to realize what came from her was more racist than anything she or her org ever complained about. I used to have her email response, but accidentally deleted it at some point.

Incidentally if you check the forums that have posted this story you’ll note that there’s an outpouring of support for Buchanan. Both Beck and Buchanan have made whites more aware of the black problem we have in this country.

For the first time ever I’m seeing anti-black postings on forums around the web. For some reason most forums are allowing them, except for the radical leftists.

Beck? You have got to be kidding!

We all know Beck will NEVER say anything about blacks unless it is something good (Black Founding Fathers) remember that whole segment? He is a race traitor to the core and not once will he mention the decline of Whites worldwide nor about the DELIBERATE replacement of Whites in America and in Europe! I could go on forever about the out and out lies he tells and all his omissions of key facts. He is too busy being a good “preacher” boy and telling his White audience to be Christianlike (genocidal)and perverting the meaning of the Bible as so many pastors do today.

His groveling of MLK is really sickening. He rails against communists in our government but then tries to portray King as some kind of Republican. Neocons are such cowardly weasels that they surrendered to the left a long time ago to join in the worship of this false deity.

Though, I really enjoyed his interview with Buchanan when his book first came out. He seemed to agree with Buchanan. Beck is just all over the map.

Beck’s speech is replete with nuances. Of course he doesn’t come out and say anything racial. If he did he wouldn’t be as effective as he is, but, more importantly, he would be demonized out of existence. He’d be finished.

And, his entire “preacher” method is anti-black, because nothing of what he preaches about is shared by blacks.

You have to understand that we aren’t going to get a George Wallace on our side in this day and age. And white nationalists are not going to win any appreciable number of people to our side under the present circumstances. The important thing is to support those who create an opportunity for unity.

Take the Tea Party for example. They have several people who think it is “racist” to even cite black crime stats, but I have no doubt when the situation gets more racial than it is now they’ll be in the white nationalist camp, because, whether they realize it or not, they’re only a heartbeat away right now.

Looking at the big picture in a militarily analytical kind of way, whites need to unify, and if the unification is accomplished under simply a conservative banner, it’s o.k……for now.

The split is inevitable, and it will occur as a natural process of the failure of multiculturalism, hurried along by a slowly collapsing economy.

“I disagree. Beck is NOT effective. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing. If anything he is leading Whites astray. ”

The unity tht Beck has created among millions of whites is priceless. Unifying one’s base is the basic necessity of any movement, whether or not it has reached the ideological point that is desired. That will follow.

However, in the last analysis, nothing really has to be done. This multicultural disaster will implode all on its own whether there are large numbers of whites who sound like George Wallace or not. And when the implosion occurs, whites better have a unified base or they won’t be able to effectively win the coming conflagration.

The situation itself will cull all whites from the multicultural herd the same as it will divide the other groups up into their own tribal factions.

Without a unified base to work from, nothing else is possible to any great degree.

I never thought PJB and MSNBC were ever a good fit. The only reason I can come up with is that MSNBC management liked him because he liked to criticize other Republicans, and as long as he was doing that, things were cool. Otherwise, they know he has written many other “hateful” books and columns before now — If any of PJB’s books was going to get him in trouble at MSNBC, it was going to be The Unnecessary War.

“Because of the content of the book, I didn’t think it should be part of the national dialogue, much less part of the dialogue on MSNBC.”

If the content of the book were ridiculous and nonsensical, shouldn’t it be a piece of cake to refute the arguments and claims brought by the author and convince the public of the opposite? This is what news networks are supposed to be for, critically analyzing subjects.

On the other hand, if the content happens to trigger concerns, controversy and unease among people (after all, the title refers to the “death” of their home country), then it is even more an obligation of news networks to highlight the issues and set up grounds for a civil discussion, national dialogue and solution seeking.

None of these two outcomes has occured, though. Instead, Pat Buchanan has been suspended. Apparently, his points are imminent, striking and irrefutable, but the titel alone reflecting the terms “white” and “christian” goes against the liberal dogma of equality and too much to bear for the brain circuits of MSNBC staff, so they opted for the option of least resistance and continue burying their heads in the sand.

PB pointed out a correlation between this specific superpower declining and similarly timed decline in the White demographic, to be judged as a White supremacist.
These color of change people sure don’t like anyone to put together, that as the blacks and browns are stepping up to the perceived ‘power podium’, that the country and Western world similarly declining.
Must just be a coincidence to them or due to other mitigating factors such as the ramifications of the global economy or that old chestnut “the legacy of institutional racism”, which ironically just promotes a more vigorous redistribution of wealth (aka ‘investment’) into to these ‘color of change’ groups which ironically just speeds up the decline, all of this just equates to more rearranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic.

ColorOfChange.org exists to strengthen Black America’s political voice. Our goal is to empower our members – Black Americans and our allies – to make government more responsive to the concerns of Black Americans and to bring about positive political and social change for everyone.

that’s their mission statement, seems like quite a supremacist ideology to me. Oh wait my mistake only when whites do it.

The irony is that all along, PJB has lived and written under the delusion that blacks can somehow be good “Americans.”

michael savage is the only one with any courage to speak the truth.

I dont think Savage is been right on ANYTHING here recently! Savage has never talked about key issues. What has Savage done? promote his books and slame R.P. AND Buchanan.

Anonymous

Agreed. Michael Savage 0f “the Savage Nation” is an actor and he has done an entertaining “act” as a supposedly Right Wing talk show host. Michael Savage used to be a Left wing New Yorker named “Michael Weiner” who supposedly “saw the light” like former Pharisee Saul of Tarsus who become the born again Christian “St. Paul” .

But folks should understand that people who change political positions, change their names to assume completely different identities can change again.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Savage drops out of society for a year and then comes back as a supposedly Muslim immigrant named Mohammed Emir who will speak out against racism in Europe and America against Muslim immigrants.

Proving your point: Savage is now back to semi-liking Ron Paul. I joked around last week saying that “next week he’ll like Ron Paul again” I wasn’t too far off the mark. Within a month, Ron Paul will be a guest on his show again, a month later, Savage will call RP every name in the book.

One day, Romney is unelectable. The next day, Romney is the only one who can beat Obama. One day, the economy is horrible. The next day, the economy isn’t that bad because San Francisco restaurants are always full. (When haven’t SF restaurants been full? Is it supposed to be any skin on or off my back here in flyover country that a bunch of middle aged homosexuals living off their parents trust funds and dot com zillionaires pack their city’s restaurants to capacity?)

Savage is all over the map on a lot of other things.

Savage used to have PJB on his show a lot, then one day, he discovered his “Nazi-ism,” and that was the end of that. Of course, Savage is another one who apparently doesn’t pay attention: To the extent that PJB has had those “Nazi” attitudes, he has had them for a long time. See my comment below in response to Engelman.

Beloved Comrade

I urge and implore everyone to go onto the original article and post — it’s easy because it’s linked to DISQUS.

Pat Buchanan a bigot and hater (according to most of the posters on the thread) but not Sharpton?

Good show George, Danimalius, jackellis! I’m going back now to “like” your posts.

Looks like the total MSM censorship is closing down here, the comment section appears to be locked (at least for pro Pat Buchanan comments). Good job everyone who posted.

This news item leaves a queasy feeling in my stomach. My admiration for Buchanan aside, I find it disturbing that those at the forefront of the impingement of free speech are JOURNALISTS and the NEWS MEDIA. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work in a free and open society.

They believe that covering Buchanan’s mouth (or their own ears) will make his point of view go away.

WE NEED TO SEND EMAILS TO MSNBC. That’s what “Color of Change” did.

Soon there will be an Orwellian moment when an MSNBC panel of Sharpton and representatives of La Raza and SPLC explain why Buchanan had to go

The AP quotes Griffin as saying, “Because of the content of the book, I didn’t think it should be part of the national dialogue, much less part of the dialogue on MSNBC.”
– David Ferguson, Raw Story, January 7, 2012

That goes back to my point. PJB just didn’t start writing books, and this book is far from his first. Why is MSNBC’s management only now bothered with what he writes in books? Almost all his books has some content which ruffles PC feathers. If you want to go “there,” and by “there,” I mean “there,” his 2000 book, A Republic, Not an Empire has segments deviating from the official narrative about World War II and one of its Axis combatants. MSNBC had to have known this when they hired him. Yet they are only having a problem now.

Why?

Are the media seeing a war with Iran coming and wanting to push dissenting voices out the door? That’s my best theory.

Watching the local news this morning. There’s a beautiful blonde hostess paired with a black guy. The blonde remarks about a story, “Everyone knows the line from Shakespeare: ‘A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.'”

The black host was dumbfounded. “Yeah, right.” She thinks he’s joking and elbows him. He is not joking. They move on to the story…

The point is: Put a black man in a suit. Have him read from a teleprompter and how many of the people watching him think he is intelligent and educated?

We’ve been fooled like this way too many times.

I think this speaks volumes about the integrity of MSNBC as a news source. We should write them and complain.

It’s been tried. There are problems with infiltration, young drunks, negative people.

For something very similar to what you propose, go to implicitly White cultural events like Scottish Highland games, you will find lots of fun “clan” tents – not KK – Klan tents, but family clans like “Clan Macdonald”.

Pat Buchanan, with his books, is the Alexandr Solzhenitsyn of our times!

Solzhenitsyn was even brave enough to write a book titled ‘200 years together’ which explains who really controls things, it would be great if Pat Buchanan would right something similar about the people who control the media in the U.S.A.

“Many of us are former leftists” “Russia/ KGB /”

It is not clear what, if anything, in Marxism-Leninism (as an ideology and a framework for
ideological development) ever dictated that all races were equal in the overall capacity to
generate, maintain, and advance a culture. In the late 50’s, a devoted Marxist (now deceased) with Leninist sympathies told me in strictly confidential dicussion that may leftists believed
mental abilities and other character assets were largely determined by heredity–not environment. She had contact in lawful conduct with Embassy staff in a Soviet Embassy
who also privately held such beliefs and some of such staff, having lived in Africa for a time,
considered it “self-evident” that Blacks were markedly inherently mentally dull. In the
American heartland up to the Palmer raids, many IWW local units embraced the notion of
inherent mental ability and trait differences between Blacks and Whites. There was an
internal “knock down/ drag out” within many regional groupings of IWW about this matter.
Jack London stands as an exemplar of a leftist who was what nowadays would be easily
termed a “racist”.

Yeah they’ve been back and forth on it, but they all know how much traction they’ve got from “racism” in the tearing down of America. The modern ones especially should know since they’re all supposed to be Darwinists. But any time human beings come up they get all sentimental. At one point, the Russians embraced a from of mystical evolutionary theory that was more Lamarckian. Its’ founder, Lysenko, felt that Darwinsim was deterministic and limited the aspirations of the people. His theories were tried out in the wheat fields and almost lead to famine.

Pat Buchanan is a hero and a prophet. Unfortunately all great prophets are without honour in eyes of ther contemporaries. My awakening began with reading Pat’s Death of the West in high school. Great man. Support him. I bought every single book of his except Suicide of a Superpower. I’m going to order it tonight. Apathy is our bigest enemy. We can do everything we set our minds to. Only we need to will it hard enough. Stop watching liberal networks and newspappers. Support men and organization which deserve it. This is something that is easy to do and nobody has excusse for not doing it. Mr. Buchanan stand tall and proud as you were. They are the scoundrels.

Buchanan was dismissed because he began discussing open secrets. An open secret is something few people know about even though the information is easily accessible and in the public domain (usually just a few minutes with google with bring it to light).

These things are kept “secret” through dilution and distraction. That is to say, the means by which most people remained informed, are passive and tightly controlled.

Everyone knows about the race issue, at this point. You can thank Obama for that. Obama, being an idiot, has no idea the level of scrutiny what he is doing has picked up. Expect him to go to prison some time within the first year or two of a Ron Paul presidency, followed quickly by Holder. These guys commit crime in the open and then never expect anyone to notice. The problem for them is, they have become a liability….once best handled by simply letting the other side win.

Back to Buchanan. Buchanan’s job is to focus people’s attention on those open secrets the puppet masters behind the scenes want him to. It’s a way of putting the breaks on a monster they created.

Instead, Buchanan (and Ron Paul for that matter) are focusing on who is running things behind the scenes and how they maintain power with a mind toward dismantling that.

I look forward to the day….VERY soon when, like a vampire, the light of day pours forth on the guilty and censorship of who they are and what they are doing becomes a joke.

It is more than a little ironic that a group called Color of Change got Pat Buchanan banned for writing a book with a chapter called “The End of White America.”

Yes, and Pat Buchanan is not an out-and-out racial activist, as are the members of Color of Change. Pat’s not really pro-white at all. I Wonder how many journalists working at MSNBC belong to the association of black journalists for one?

Now would be a good time for us White people to contact MSNBC and ask that Pat Buchanan not be suspended and that MSNBC should respect different points of view. Let’s remind this very liberal station that at one time AG Eric Holder stated that we were a nation of cowards because we were afraid to talk about race. By suspending Pat Buchanan it looks like MSNBC is afraid to talk about race!

Let’s start defending our own people!

When a black person says ‘we need a dialog on race’, the last thing they want is a dialog.

What they really want is a confession. They want ‘the white man’ to admit that he’s involved in conspiracy to oppress the black man and keep down.

Such a ‘dialog’ would never include issues of genetics, violence, or intelligent. This ‘dialog’ would consist of black people berating white people for every imaginary slight they or their great great granddaddy allegedly suffered at the hands of whites.

Well said, but a better point could have been made by Frank. News organizations, particularly ones that claim to offer in depth, diverse, and intelligent views are clearly hypocritical when they do fire a Buchanan who says something they cannot handle. It’s NBC’s cowardace to embrace dissimilar viewpoints that is obviously the problem.

When was the last time you saw a rainbow that had black or brown in it?

British Activism

The only sane questions that people at MSNBC (and in the public sphere) should be asking are:

1) Is ‘White America’ on the wane and demographically coming to an end?

2) Is Christianity being undermined, coupled with secularism and Islam etc being promoted?

3) What is the track record of any majority/homogeneous Black/Non-White city or nation in terms of success and high civilisation as a “first-world” standard?

The rest, the reaction to posing such questions is pure mental conditioning. A 500ft crevice that drops into the abyss of hell does not cease to be there if we close our eyes or if we put our hands over our eyes.

If Mr Buchanan has reason to believe that 1), 2), and 3) are *factual* concerns and realities – which, in any sane mind, they are – then he has every right to put them forward in the public domain, whether they be in books or on the television.

There is no evidence, from what I can see, of there being any “white supremacy”. 1) is a fact. 2) is underpinned with evidence as has been discussed in many documentaries, and 3) is self evident – whether it be Somalia or New Orleans.

That Blacks and the White ‘Liberals’ do not like the truth, are truth-deniers and are suffering a bout of factophobia is not Pat’s fault.

It is very sad to see this kind of thing happening in America.

In many parts of Europe we have been under this kind of thumb for decades – where the fascists make you lose your job, where you receive smears and harassment, even risk be imprisoned for “unorthodox” opinions – but I suppose that as one of the last nations to have any kind of “free speech” and “freedom of opinion” gets overwhelmed demographically and ideologically from the ‘left’, it is inevitable that such principles of truth and integrity are to be smothered forever along with the race and civilisation that gave birth to such ideals.

It is even in the constitution of your nation isn’t it? But no doubt, like here in England, it is getting to the point where you are free to say what you like and think what you like……as long as nobody ever hears it or understands what is on your mind.
